WATCH: Neo-Nazis Declare Support for Biden.

American Neo-Nazis have admitted to supporting President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election as he is in favor of sending ammunition and supplies to the war in Ukraine.

Christopher Pohlhaus, a former marine turned leader of the ‘Blood Tribe’ was asked by a reporter during a Neo-Nazi rally held in Florida over the weekend who he would vote for in the upcoming general election.

“My vote is useless, I think Biden’s better than Trump because he sends rockets to Ukraine,” Pohlhaus responded, before going on to praise the Ukrainian army’s Neo Neo Nazi Azov Battalion. Another group was heard elsewhere announcing their support for the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, although they eventually retracted the comments later in the day.

Kent McLellan, another Neo-Nazi who attended the rally, was also recorded shouting “Slava Ukraini” and “Slava Azov.”

Investigative reporter Laura Loomer has unearthed evidence that the U.S.-based Neo Nazis have been working with U.S. government agencies, specifically the FBI, and were even present at the Capitol riots on Jan 6th 2021.

The Biden regime has sent over $75 billion in various forms of aid and assistance as of July this year. President Biden demanded another $13 billion earlier this month, as Republican Members of Congress urge the U.S. government to fund the openly Neo-Nazi ‘Azov Battalion’ in the country.

ICE Captures Illegal Alien Attempting to Join ISIS After Biden Released Him.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A Colombian illegal alien, released into the U.S. under the former Biden regime, attempted to join the Islamic State and has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

👥 Who’s Involved: The 35-year-old Colombian illegal alien, ICE, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

📍 Where & When: Entered the U.S. in Lukeville, Arizona on July 14, 2024; arrested in the Boston area on May 22, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “This Colombian alien entered the country illegally and was released under the Biden administration. He went on to engage with an ISIS recruiter.” — ICE spokesman.

⚠️ Impact: The arrest highlights concerns about the Biden government’s handling of border security and the threat posed by migrants with potential ties to terrorism.

IN FULL:

A Colombian illegal immigrant, released into the United States under the former Biden regime, has been apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after attempting to join the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist group. The arrest was part of a broader operation targeting illegal aliens in the Boston area, according to officials.

The 35-year-old man entered the U.S. illegally via Lukeville, Arizona, on July 14, 2024. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) initially detained him due to a lack of valid documentation, placing him in removal proceedings. However, he was later released into the country’s interior.

In May 2025, ICE was informed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that the individual had been in contact with a social media account reportedly facilitating travel and combat training for ISIS recruits. The account had requested videos of the man pledging allegiance to the terrorist organization.

On May 22, 2025, ICE and the FBI arrested the suspect in the Boston area during “Operation Patriot,” a larger initiative that resulted in nearly 1,500 arrests. An ICE spokesman commented on the case, stating, “This Colombian alien entered the country illegally and was released under the Biden administration. He went on to engage with an ISIS recruiter.”

This development follows the recent apprehension of a suspected al-Qaeda member in Philadelphia. This Tajikistan-born Russian citizen entered the U.S. in 2023 and was similarly released into the country. More recently, an Egyptian illegal alien was involved in a firebombing attack against a pro-Israel demonstration in Colorado.

Former Border Patrol Chief Aaron Heitke previously testified about a surge in “significant interest aliens” (SIAs)—individuals with potential terrorism ties—entering the U.S. under the Biden regime. Heitke revealed that the San Diego sector saw SIA arrests skyrocket from an annual average of 10-15 to over 100 in 2022, with even higher numbers in subsequent years. He also alleged that the administration barred him from publicly discussing the issue.

Concerns have been raised about the administration’s policies, with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reporting earlier this year that hundreds of individuals with ties to terrorist organizations had been paroled into the U.S.

Court Says Trump CAN Ban Fake News AP From White House.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A federal appeals court has stayed a lower court order that forced President Donald J. Trump to allow the Associated Press (AP) to have White House access. The judicial panel found that the Trump White House is likely to ultimately succeed against the litigation brought by the AP.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, the Associated Press, and the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

📍 Where & When: The ruling was issued on Friday, June 6, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “The White House is likely to succeed on the merits because these restricted presidential spaces are not First Amendment fora opened for private speech and discussion,” the justices found.

⚠️ Impact: The stay order means the Trump White House can move forward with their decision to bar the Associated Press from White House events and press pool privileges on Air Force One and other presidential venues.

IN FULL:

A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald J. Trump can ban the Associated Press (AP) from White House access. On Friday, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit handed down an order staying a lower court ruling that had ordered President Trump to restore press access to the AP, stating: “The White House is likely to succeed on the merits because these restricted presidential spaces are not First Amendment fora opened for private speech and discussion.”

“The White House therefore retains discretion to determine, including on the basis of viewpoint, which journalists will be admitted,” Circuit Court Justices Neomi Rao and Gregory Katsas write, adding: “Moreover, without a stay, the government will suffer irreparable harm because the injunction impinges on the President’s independence and control over his private workspaces.”

The ruling follows a Federal District Court decision in April to issue an injunction against the Trump White House’s ban on the AP. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden, at the time, determined that the ban was “contrary to the First Amendment” and ruled that the Trump White House must “put the AP on an equal playing field as similarly situated outlets, despite the AP’s use of disfavored terminology.” The AP was initially banned from the White House over the publication’s refusal to use the official government term, the “Gulf of America,” instead of the “Gulf of Mexico.”

Friday’s decision marks a significant legal win in the ongoing lawfare efforts by the Democratic Party and allied organizations to undermine President Trump and his agenda. Federal judges have controversially intervened in the America First leader’s efforts to deport dangerous and criminal illegal immigrants from the country, with Trump allies accusing the courts of overstepping their constitutional authority and interfering with executive branch powers.

Trump Trade Team Will Meet With Chinese Officials in London on Monday.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump’s economic team will meet with Chinese representatives in London on Monday to advance trade deal negotiations.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

📍 Where & When: The Monday meeting was announced on Friday, June 6.

💬 Key Quote: “I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Friday. He added, “The meeting should go very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

⚠️ Impact: The meeting indicates that negotiations between the United States and China continue apace.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump announced on Friday that his White House economic team will be meeting with their Chinese counterparts in London, England, on Monday, June 9, to continue talks about a long-term bilateral trade deal between the two nations. In May, President Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping agreed to a temporary pause in tariffs the two nations placed on each other’s exports while a more permanent agreement was negotiated.

“I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Friday. He added, “The meeting should go very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The temporary trade truce from May has faced numerous allegations of being violated by China. The National Pulse reported at the end of May that President Trump accused Beijing of violating the truce’s terms by continuing to restrict U.S. imports. That allegation was followed up by accusations by the U.S. and EU on Thursday that China has continued to restrict its exports of rare earth minerals, despite pledging to lift export controls in the May truce agreement.

Notably, the London meeting comes just hours after President Trump and Xi spoke on the phone regarding the state of the trade negotiations. Following the conversation, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to comment on his Chinese counterpart, writing, “I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!”

BREAKING: AG Alleges Democrat Darling Kilmar Abrego Garcia Is Pedophile Who Trafficked Children, Narcotics, Firearms.

Deported Salvadoran illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, now returning to the United States to face criminal charges, has been accused of human trafficking, drug smuggling, gun running, and abusing women and children by Attorney General Pam Bondi, citing grand jury findings.

Abrego Garcia, who became a darling of the Democratic Party and segments of the media after he was deported to his native El Salvador despite a judge staying his removal to that country, was presented to the public as a hardworking father and “Maryland man” by his supporters, who demanded his return to the U.S. It subsequently emerged he was previously arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, and that his wife had filed a protective order against him for violent abuse.

Now, the authorities will be returning Abrego Garcia to the U.S.—because law enforcement has uncovered evidence of his long-term involvement in serious criminal activity. Among the “disturbing facts” that have emerged about the Salvadoran, per AG Bondi, are allegations he “traded the innocence of minor children for profit” by trafficking them. Co-conspirators allege he “abused undocumented alien females… who were under his control while transporting them,” and that he “solicited nude photographs and videos of a minor [and] played a role in the murder of a rival gang member’s mother.”

He is also alleged to be linked to a smuggling ring responsible for the deaths of 50 migrants being transported in a tractor-trailer that overturned in Mexico, among other offenses.

Bondi anticipates that, if convicted, Abrego Garcia will be deported from the U.S. after serving his sentence.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia Returning to U.S. — to Face Criminal Charges.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported Salvadoran illegal alien, is being returned to the U.S. to face criminal charges related to alleged human trafficking.

👥 Who’s Involved: Abrego Garcia, the Trump administration, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, and alleged MS-13 affiliates.

📍 Where & When: Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador months ago; he is now returning to face charges in the U.S.

⚠️ Impact: The case has become a political flashpoint, with Democrats criticizing the illegal immigrant’s initial deportation and advocating for his return.

IN FULL:

A Salvadoran illegal alien who was deported by the Trump administration is being brought back to the United States to face criminal charges for his alleged involvement in human trafficking operations, according to reports.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is accused of participating in a years-long scheme to smuggle illegal immigrants into Texas, including aliens reportedly linked to the violent MS-13 gang. He faces two criminal charges related to these allegations.

Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador earlier this year and detained in the country’s high-security mega-prison, CECOT, despite being subject to a withholding order that was meant to prevent his removal to the government. The Trump administration previously maintained that it lacked the legal authority to reverse his deportation, with Abrego Garcia being a Salvadoran citizen on Salvadoran territory.

Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat from Maryland, took the unusual step of traveling to El Salvador to meet with Abrego Garcia to advocate for him in person. Van Hollen and other Democrats have used the case to criticize the deportation and immigration policies of the Trump administration, characterizing him as an innocent “Maryland man.”

The National Pulse has previously reported how Abrego Garcia was accused of violent abuse by his wife and arrested on suspicion of human trafficking.

Patel: CCP Orchestrating Fentanyl Crisis to ‘Take Out Generations of Young Men and Women’ in America.

PULSE POINTS:

❓ What Happened: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel accused the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of using fentanyl to target American youth, describing it as a deliberate strategy to weaken the U.S. during an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience.

👥 Who’s Involved: Kash Patel, the FBI, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and America’s Five Eyes partners.

📍 Where & When: Patel spoke on The Joe Rogan Experience, with the interview airing on June 6, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “The Chinese… have used [fentanyl] as a directed approach… to take out generations of young men and women,” Patel said.

⚠️ Impact: Patel’s accusations highlight Trump’s America First focus on national security and intensifying efforts to combat the CCP’s role in the fentanyl crisis, killing over 100,000 Americans annually.

IN FULL:

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel, speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, accused the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of orchestrating the fentanyl crisis to undermine American youth. “The Chinese… have used [fentanyl] as a directed approach because we are their adversary,” Patel said, warning that the CCP aims to “take out generations of young men and women” who could otherwise become soldiers, police officers, and so on. He called it a “long-term plan” to weaken the U.S.

Patel detailed the FBI’s “massive enterprise to go after fentanyl precursor companies in mainland China,” where “the fentanyl precursors, the stuff you need to make fentanyl, comes from.” He noted, “They’ve got hundreds of companies… shipping this stuff out into the world.”

He said China had restricted exports of one fentanyl precursor, but “there’s 14 others they’re still shipping” to cartels in Mexico, India, and Vancouver, Canada, bypassing U.S. security.

Patel cited over 100,000 annual U.S. overdose deaths as a “tier one” national security threat, highlighting the CCP’s seemingly selective targeting of Americans. “You don’t hear fentanyl deaths in China… India… England, Australia, New Zealand, or… Canada,” he noted, saying the FBI is now working with Five Eyes partners Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand and orchestrating sanctions on Chinese firms to disrupt supply chains.

Patel slammed the former Joe Biden government for ignoring this “national security crisis” in favor of obsessing over climate change and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). He pledged, “We will not have kids dying of fentanyl overdoses in our streets” under the Trump administration, vowing to intensify efforts against the CCP’s role in the epidemic.

Murder Charges Filed in Shooting of Israeli Embassy Staff at D.C. Jewish Museum.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A man opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., killing two Israeli Embassy staff members. The suspect has now been charged with murder.

👥 Who’s Involved: The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, 30, from Chicago, and the victims, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, both Israeli Embassy employees.

📍 Where & When: The shooting occurred near the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night.

💬 Key Quote: “This is a horrific crime, and these crimes are not going to be tolerated by me and my office.” — U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

⚠️ Impact: The attack is being investigated as a hate crime and an act of terrorism, with heightened security measures now in place around the area.

IN FULL:

A Chicago man has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and other crimes following the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Elias Rodriguez, 30, is accused of targeting Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, a young couple employed by the Israeli Embassy, as they left an event.

Authorities say Rodriguez approached a group of four people outside the museum before opening fire with a 9mm handgun, striking Lischinsky and Milgrim multiple times. According to charging documents, Rodriguez allegedly fired additional rounds at Milgrim after she attempted to sit up. Lischinsky was pronounced dead at the scene, while Milgrim succumbed to her injuries shortly after being transported by emergency services.

The shooting is being investigated as a hate crime and an act of terrorism. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro stated during a press briefing, “This is a horrific crime, and these crimes are not going to be tolerated by me and my office.”

Rodriguez, who allegedly declared his actions were “for Palestine” and “for Gaza,” was apprehended at the scene after surrendering to law enforcement. He reportedly purchased a ticket to the museum event hours before the attack and had flown to Washington, D.C., from Chicago on May 20 with the firearm in checked luggage.

Court documents indicate Rodriguez legally purchased the handgun in Illinois in March 2020. Investigators recovered 21 spent shell casings, a firearm magazine, and the gun used in the attack.

Rodriguez appeared in court on Thursday, where he was informed of the potential penalties if convicted, including life imprisonment or the death penalty. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 18, and Rodriguez remains in custody.

Last month, it was revealed that Rodriquez’s father was invited by Congressman Jesús ‘Chuy’ García (D-IL) to attend President Donald J. Trump‘s Congressional address on March 4. Eric Rodriguez was hailed as an “outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.”

KASSAM: Musk’s Ouster Proves MAGA Can’t be Bought Like Tea Party Was.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, welcomed the end of Elon Musk’s influence in the Trump administration, saying it protects the MAGA movement from being co-opted by oligarchs.

👥 Who’s Involved: Raheem Kassam, President Donald J. Trump, Elon Musk, and the MAGA movement.

📍Where & When: Kassam spoke to The Washington Post at Butterworth’s in Washington, D.C., on June 5, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “I was very worried for a time that MAGA would be bought out by the oligarch [like the Tea Party], and it’s just so satisfying to see that that is now no longer the case,” Kassam said.

⚠️ Impact: The Trump-Musk split reinforces MAGA’s independence, aligning with Trump’s America First vision against vested interests.

IN FULL:

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has welcomed the split between President Donald J. Trump and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) frontman Elon Musk, telling The Washington Post that it signals the MAGA movement will not sell out to vested interests like the Tea Party.

“This is a lesson the MAGA right needed to learn right now,” Kassam told the newspaper at Butterworth’s, the Washington, D.C. bistro where he is an investor. He noted that the Tea Party, the grassroots movement against Big Government that sprang up following Barack Obama’s election, previously “got bought out by the Kochs,” referring to Charles and the late David Koch, who support mass legal immigration and amnesty for many illegals.

“I was very worried for a time that MAGA would be bought out by the oligarchs, too,” Kassam continued. “And it’s just so satisfying to see that that is now no longer the case.”

Musk’s falling out with President Trump centers around the “one big beautiful bill” currently working its way through Congress. The bill increases funding for border security and defense while making permanent Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and enacting new tax cuts for tips, overtime, and social security.

While Musk and his cohorts claim it increases spending and the debt ceiling unacceptably, the administration argues it will actually result in substantial spending cuts, and that Musk is upset that this includes cuts to government support for electric vehicles (EVs), which his Tesla firm manufactures.

Harvard Law Review Accused of Witness Intimidation Amid Investigation Into Anti-White Discrimination.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The Harvard Law Review is under federal investigation for racial discrimination and alleged retaliation against a student editor.

👥 Who’s Involved: Harvard Law Review, a student editor, the Department of Justice (DOJ), attorney Jason Torchinsky.

📍 Where & When: Harvard University, ongoing as of 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “If you know someone is a witness in a federal investigation, and you try to intimidate them into stopping cooperation with the government, that in itself is its own offense,” said Jason Torchinsky.

⚠️ Impact: Potentially deepening legal troubles for the Harvard Law Review.

IN FULL:

The Harvard Law Review is facing multiple federal investigations over allegations of racial discrimination and actions that could amount to witness intimidation. Despite being under a federal document retention order as part of a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation, the law journal allegedly retaliated against a student editor who leaked files to the Washington Free Beaconand demanded that the documents be destroyed.

Notably, the Harvard Law Review faces numerous allegations of discriminatory behavior in its selection of editors and other staff. Internal memos and messages show that the law journal emphasized race and other diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) factors in the selection process, leading to discriminatory practices against white applicants. Consequently, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched formal investigations into the publication.

After receiving notice of the investigations, the Harvard Law Review was ordered to retain all documents and other relevant materials. Additionally, the publication was told that student editor Daniel Wasserman was cooperating with the government investigation. However, a week later, Wasserman was ordered by the journal to return or destroy any materials he had shared with media outlets. Notably, Wasserman was the source of leaked files published by the Washington Free Beacon.

Additionally, the journal issued a formal reprimand in Wasserman’s law review file, which likely constitutes illegal retaliation as the student editor was named by the federal government as a cooperating witness. Jason Torchinsky, a former Justice Department official, described such behavior as likely illegal, stating, “If you know someone is a witness in a federal investigation, and you try to intimidate them into stopping cooperation with the government, that in itself is its own offense.”

While technically separate from Harvard University, the Harvard Law Review has a long-standing presence on campus and is considered a significant stepping stone for students with high ambitions in the legal field. A number of U.S. Supreme Court Justices once served as editors during their time at Harvard Law School.

Trump Economy Gains 139,000 Jobs, Despite Drop in Government Employment.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: U.S. employers added 139,000 jobs in May, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2 percent.

👥 Who’s Involved: The Department of Labor, President Donald J. Trump, and economists tracking job market trends.

📍 Where & When: United States; May 2025, with the data being released on June 6, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: Federal government employment dropped by 22,000 in May, private sector jobs exceeded expectations, and average hourly earnings saw significant growth.

IN FULL:

The U.S. economy added 139,000 jobs in May, according to the Department of Labor‘s latest report, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.2 percent. Economists had anticipated 125,000 new jobs, making the actual figure a modest improvement over expectations.

Federal government employment saw a notable decline, with 22,000 fewer jobs in May. This drop contributes to a total reduction of 59,000 federal positions since January, aligning with President Donald J. Trump’s ongoing efforts to reduce the size of government.

The private sector added 140,000 jobs, surpassing the forecasted 120,000. Within this sector, the services industry recorded a significant gain of 145,000 jobs. However, the goods-producing segment of the economy contracted by 5,000 positions, including an 8,000-job decline in manufacturing. A revision to April’s manufacturing numbers, however, showed a gain of 5,000 jobs instead of the previously reported loss of 1,000 jobs.

The labor force participation rate dipped slightly to 62.4 percent in May from 62.6 percent in April, reflecting a minor contraction in workforce engagement.

Average hourly earnings increased by 0.4 percent in May, doubling the rate of April’s growth and exceeding economists’ expectations. Over the last year, wages have risen by 3.9 percent, outpacing inflation and signaling stronger purchasing power for workers.

Revisions to previous months’ job numbers revealed a downward adjustment of 65,000 jobs for March (to 120,000) and 30,000 for April (to 147,000). Combined, these revisions indicate 95,000 fewer jobs than initially reported for the two-month period.

Over the past year, the U.S. economy has averaged 149,000 new jobs per month, reflecting a steady pace of employment growth.
